What a day! Started pushing bikes up mountain @ 7:00. Low on water, but at mile two an elk
prospect/hunter gave us a gallon of ice water- Trail Angel. At noon we had gone 15 miles. But then we entered some downhill. Very rocky; sandy; and full of ruts. A significant challenge just to go
downhill. Indeed, both Anna and I had
wrecks. Anna hit some sand that threw
her off, but with a 2 foot landing while her bike did a 360 in the air. Big Smile.
Our final 90 minutes of riding on the day took us on a 15 mile down hill
into the tiny 18 th century Spanish settlement of Abiquiu, home to 20th century
artist Georgia O Keefe. We are tenting
at a delightful B&B along the Chama river.
The Chama flows into the Rio Grande. Proof positive that NM has a
river.
